Fish caught for this specialty is belvica (alburnus аlburnus belvica) also called nivicki. Production of cironki goes in the following order: fishermen catch the fish mostly at night from 9 pm to 3 am. Traditionally fish is caught with pezol/ pezovola, a kind of circular net with lead weights on the edges that can be seen only here. Once caught and removed from the pezol, the fish is ready for salting with a big amount of salt; one kilogram of fish is salted with 300 grams of salt.

  • Faded Memories
    Faded Memories Life and Times of a Macedonian Villager 1 The COVER PAGE is a photograph of Lerin, the main township near the villages in which many of my family ancestors lived and regularly visited. 2 ACKNOWLEGEMENTS This publication is essentially an autobiography of the life and times of my father, John Christos Vellios, Jovan Risto Numeff. It records his recollections, the faded memories, passed down over the years, about his family ancestors and the times in which they lived. My father personally knew many of the people whom he introduces to his readers and was aware of more distant ancestors from listening to the stories passed on about them over the succeeding generations. His story therefore reinforces the integrity of oral history which has been used since ancient times, by various cultures, to recall the past in the absence of written, documentary evidence. This publication honours the memory of my father’s family ancestors and more generally acknowledges the resilience of the Macedonian people, who destined to live, seemingly forever under foreign subjugation, refused to deny their heritage in the face of intense political oppression and on-going cultural discrimination. This account of life and times of a Macedonian villager would not have been possible without the support and well-wishes of members of his family and friends whose own recollections have enriched my father’s narrative. I convey my deepest gratitude for the contributions my father’s brothers, my uncles Sam, Norm and Steve and to his nephew Phillip (dec), who so enthusiastically supported the publication of my father’s story and contributed on behalf of my father’s eldest brother Tom (dec) and his family.

  • Food Allergy and Sensitivity Test (FAST) Results Fast Track to Wellness
    Food Allergy and Sensitivity Test (FAST) Results Fast Track To Wellness Infinite Allergy Labs | 3885 Crestwood Parkway Ste 550, Duluth, Georgia 30096 | 1-833-FOODALLERGY The information in this guide will help you to understand the Infinite Allergy Labs Food Allergy and Sensitivity Panel (FAST), and how to best utilize your results. Why Food Testing Matters: Many people realize that they are having issues with food and can tell something in their diet is affecting them. They are often led to allergy testing and may find some answers but not the entire solution. Allergy testing is useful, but only looks at one way we react to foods. Allergy testing measures an immune response known as IgE. Our body can be inflamed in different ways, not only from IgE, but Total IgG, IgG4, and complement. A diet that minimizes foods that provoke these responses will decrease many types of inflammation and symptoms and is foundational to wellness. When we are eating the least inflammatory diet, individualized to our body, we are optimizing our chance for health. Inflammation can be due to certain foods specific to each individual and is at the heart of many conditions that are detrimental to health and quality of life. Considering that the surface area of our intestines is almost the size of a football field, controlling even a small amount of this inflammation, provides huge benefits to health. Research continues to emerge regarding the consequences of inflammation in our gut and how foods trigger an inflammatory process. As inflammation decreases, the intestinal lining or “gut” begins to heal.

    traditional cuisine albania pocket guide your’s to discover Albania theme guides Traditional cuisine INTRODUCTION 4 Individual people have preserved their antique culinary traditions and at the same time have enriched them with the culinary experience of others. The geographical and historical proximity have made possible reciprocal influences in the economy, culture and especially in the way of life. Notwithstanding, it appears that the influences of the culinary art are more felt due to the fact that these peoples produce to a great extent the same food articles. CONTENTS 5 INTRODUCTION 6 NORTHEN REGION CUISIN 10 CENTRAL REGION CUISIN 14 SOUTH REGION CUISIN 14 INTRODUCTION 6 The traditional Albanian cuisine, costumes, culture and the hospitality that characterize Albanians originate from ancient times. Albania is one of the most ancient countries in Europe, lying on the border between East and West. As a result, one finds traces of two cultures and culinary arts: oriental and occidental The favorable climate allows for the cultivation of nearly all kinds of agricultural produce. There is a rich variety of vegetables and fruits, which are consumed raw, in dishes, with meat or conserved. The most preferred vegetables are: tomato, pepper, egg- plant, ladyfinger, potato, cabbage, onion, garlic, green beans, beans, cucumber, etc. They are most frequently fried, boiled in slow fire, or baked. Among the leguminous plants, the most popular and traditional is the bean. Cooked in earthenware, beans are especially delicious. They are either used in dishes on their own or with other vegetables or meat. In some regions, beans are also used in pies.

These trends owe their popularity to, among others, favorable climatic conditions, interesting tourist attraction and folklore. One of the countries that attracts a large number of tourists is North Macedonia. The local population is increasingly taking actions to attract the attention of foreigners, also by means of promoting national cuisine. Macedonian dishes perfectly reflect the spirit of the Balkans and fresh fruit and vegetables testify to the high quality of food products. Data pertaining to the popularity of Macedonian cuisine among tourists and locals were collected using a survey. The group of respondents includes 130 visi- tors and 31 residents of North Macedonia. The results of the study showed that the local dishes are still identified with the entire Balkan area and their origin is often confused. Traditional Macedonian dishes, however, thanks to good promotion and advertising have the potential to become a strong factor attracting foreign tourists.

Until the mid-nineteenth century, the Ottoman rulers had prohibited the use of the Albanian language in schools. Turkish was spoken in the few schools that served the Muslim population. These institutions were located mainly in cities and large towns. The schools for Orthodox Christian children were under the supervision of the Constantinople Ecumenical Patriarchate.
